Focus on red colour first which is letter C. answer of C has to be a single-digit number that ranges between 0 and 9. answer to given puzzle in im is 3 red circles that are equal to C + C + C = 3C. refore, 3C = C.

re are only 9 single-digit numbers. So, result of red circle column should be between 0 to 27 since adding 9 + 9 + 9 is equal to 27. So re are three equations possible here eir 3 times C will equal to a one-digit number or two-digit number ranging from 10 to 20 or it might range between 20 to 27.

Equations:

3c = c  t possible as in this case c = 0, which means answer is 000 so n a = b = 0, which is t possible since each digit is a different number.

3c = 20 + c t possible as in this case c = 10, which is t possible since each digit is between 0 and 9.

3C = 10 + C is possible as in this case c = 5, so answer is 555. When you solve this query, you will get C = 5, so answer of 3 red circles is 555. w, ABC + ABC + ABC = 3(ABC) = 555. So let’s divide both sides by 3. Answer : ABC = 555/3 = 185. Thus A = 1 and B = 8. So blue circle is 1, grey circle is 8, and red circle is 5.
